If You Don't Mask, You Don't Get was a mural created by Banksy in 2020. The artwork, inspired by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, was removed due to Transport for London's anti-graffiti policy.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

Banksy posed as a cleaner in order to paint the mural inside a London Underground carriage.[3] The title is thought to be a play on words for the saying "If you don't ask, you don't get." Other slogans linked to the UK band Chumbawamba were used in the mural.[4]
